Hello, my future student. My name is Oscar Douaihi, I was born in Valencia, Venezuela, and I am an English and Spanish teacher who will be more than happy to help you learn a new language. I have been a university professor, and I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Education majoring English as a Foreign Language from the University of Carabobo, where I also worked as a teacher’s assistant for the subjects Phonological Development I and II, Subjects related to the teaching of pronunciation. I have taught English in all levels of education including young kids, although English and Spanish pronunciation is my specialty I can teach the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

I have 5 years of experience as an English teacher for several Language courses in Valencia Venezuela.
